EMPATHETIC EXHAUSTION



This article revolves around empathetic exhaustion similar to the one that came in HBR. Pl. see my comments in this section.

1. As with many other things, empathy in moderation makes sense for our own good

2. Making someone go through the rigors of fishing more on their own is more empathetic than providing fish to that person - depending on the urgency of the situation
